CANCELLED: Free Air Show - July 19

The air show has been cancelled due to weather.

The 8th Annual Model Airplane Show is on Saturday, July 19, 2014. Join the Asheville-Buncombe Aeromodelers Flying Club at the Buncombe County Sports Park from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. for this free event.

The Club will put on an air show and display many of their models. Pilots fly various types of aircraft ranging from small electric to gasoline powered 33% size airplanes.

Free flight and control line pilots are represented at this show.

Bring the family, pack a picnic lunch, lawn chairs and don’t forget the sun screen. It’s a fabulous day of high-flying fun!
